This video explains the complicity of our elected parliamentarians to destroy the NHS

Naylor report: A blueprint to 'sell off the NHS'; An asset stripper charter.
Dr Kailash Chand, the former deputy chair of the British Medical Association, branded the Naylor Report "an outline to sell off the NHS."
He added: "Hospitals, clinics and other NHS property are squarely in the sights of the purchasers.
"Theresa May has given us a huge clue as to how her government would finance ‘improvements’ to NHS services, and they’re absolutely scandalous.”
The NHS is on a one-way road to privatisationsays an article in the Guardiannewspaper:
The NHS has been legally abolished. Perhaps most controversial is the opening up of NHS contracts to unlimited privatisation. Last year alone, out of £9.63bn worth of NHS deals signed, £3.54bn (nearly 40% of them) went to private firms. Private providers are cherry-picking lucrative services to boost their profits leaving the NHS with less money to provide comprehensive care. This neatly ties in with the next aspect of the legislation.

A series of 1980s thinktank papers (one of which was authored by Conservative MPs Oliver Letwin and John Redwood) provided the blueprint for key policies.

Both Labour and Conservative "revolving door" ministers have conspired to hand over the NHS to US private companies. The USA has the most scandalous system of health care with costs of hundreds of times of any other country. It regularly bankrupts families by the hundreds on a daily basis.

It operates with patients paying for coverage on a monthly fee basis which can be anything over $600.00 per month. The less one pays the less one is covered. Some policies with very high monthly premiums have an upper limit of out of pocket expenses of some $5,000.

The patient usually has to pay the first 20% of the cost of any procedure. The price of medicines and hospital care are vastly inflated. e.g. If one has a heart attack and needs heart surgery they can be billed $500,000. The patient will have to contribute 20% of this cost which amounts to $100,000.

The actual cost to the hospital of such surgery is probably only $10,000. The insurance company which often owns the hospital ends up making another $90,000 from the patient! The monthly fee the patient has paid is pure profit and none of it ever needs to be spent.

Unfortunately for the patients, they often lose their house to pay the contribution usually at a late stage in their lives when they have no way of either recovering from this financial scam or their healthfully. It would not be unusual to find them on the street having been stripped of all their assets.

Get a heart attack and lose your house is where recent crooked and corrupt ministers including prime ministers have us headed.
When voting, the voters must vet each person standing for election and chase out any with past or present affiliations with corporations on the prowl to destroy the NHS and other corrupt practices.
